It is not difficult to imagine Phnom Penh in its prime periods, with enormous shady boulevards, spectacular French buildings and breathtaking ancient pagodas. All are still here but in a run-down condition, dust-blown state, covered with an increasing number of heavy traffic. It may make you feel curious about the way the city works. But it does, in some way, and an outstanding character is being framed out of the bustle. Parallel with the development at a dynamic pace of the economy, there are a large number of stylish restaurants and bars now lining the riverside and a sense of self-sufficiency is returning.

Joining in an amazing afternoon cruise, you will go through the fascinating floating villages where you can observe local fishermen and traders doing their work and little children playing by the riverside. You can also have a great chance to see many kinds of colorful birds, plants together with other wildlife living in the mangroves.
